Would You Buy a Volt even if there's a Cruze-EV?

$41,000 for a Volt, that was supposed to cost in the high $20,000's ... shocking? Just when you thought you'd gasped your last gasp of shock with GM, I find this. GM apparenly didn't take ALL our tax payer money to build Volts. It seems GM has been holding out on us! No, it's not April 1st ... GM has a surprise for you. Not only will they sell Volts this year, GM is manufacturing an EV version of the Cruze. Yes, THIS October, GM will put into production, a fleet of EV's ... again! Shade of EV-1 yester year. If you're excited, then you'll get even MORE excited soon, as there is still more - if that were not enough. I saved the best for last




You see GM is building the EV-Cruze only in south korea, by south korea, for south korea. Your tax dollars, hard at work ... somewhere else.

OK, so the Volt is probably SIX figures more expensive than the EV-Cruze, but what the heck. If you thought you'd jump ship for a GM EV-Cruze, don't get out of line for the Volt, because in the U.S.A. GM says foh-geda-boudit. The Volt has an ICE. I guess there's too much money to be made selling ICE's and parts to rebuild them ... and SOMEbody has to pay those ICE building/workers.
